A bit more than an arrow

Made this a few weeks ago.  Don't think it will go that well out of a bow

 It sure look's like it could make a hole in something, Marc.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

There's a gathering of all the Algonquins in town here next weekend.  I thought it would look good on my table

You could always come down here to Alabama, and go hunting with it.

Marc- are you Algonquin?  There is a town in my area called Algonquin...thought it sounded NAish, just never researched it. What type of bows would they have used?  Nice job!

Thanks guys.

Not something I would make ordinarily but it turned out quite well.  The point is one that Paul Wolf sent me as an unfinished piece along with some stone a couple years ago, I just finished it up.

I am Algonquin, Jeff, along with some Mic Mac and a bit of Mohawk thrown in.  Of course there's also a mix mash of European in there as well

Might be a bit stiff in the spine for most of my bows....maybe for some of those guys that build the warbows.  I'd never be able to say for sure cuz I can't pull the bow that thing would need. 

As an Anti-personnel Pig Poker, it might be pretty good.  Love to see the photos when you try it out!   >:D
